Chapter Summery: Elsa and Anna finally arrive to the mysterious Ahtohallan.
Disclaimer: I don't own Elsa, Anna or any other Disney characters or locations that appear or are mentioned in this work of fiction, Disney does.
NOTE: Yanno, I thought this would be the final part/chapter. Ohh man, this Ahtohallan section is a long one. I'm predicting two more, maaaybe three more chapters before the rewrite is finally complete.
"Elsa." commented Anna, placing her left hand to Elsa's right shoulder, who turned her attention to Anna with a delighted smile.
"Yeah?"
"Are you still with us?" asked Anna, before Elsa looked at her curiously, before frowning as she shook her head and lifted a hand up to her head
"Y-Yeah..." answered Elsa. "That was weird."
"Looks like the visions are over." stated Anna. "Ahtohallan's directly affecting us, even me now."
"Yeah..." replied Elsa, before she looked to the island they were approaching. "It's strange, it feels so inviting... so welcoming. If it happens again, I want you to slap me."
"Same here." stated Anna, before Silvia commented...
"And I'll happily slap you both if you go under again."
"Thanks." replied Elsa and Anna.
Once the trio landed on the island's icy shore, they all gazed in amazement at the massive wall of ice that was in front of them.
"Whoa..." gasped Anna. "This is a LOT bigger close up. Being in the air made it seem a lot smaller."
"This was in my vision..." stated Elsa curiously.
"Really?" asked Anna.
"Yeah..." replied Elsa, before she looked around their immediate area. "This... is the same spot. It all matches... That means, there should be an opening in the ice ahead of us." she added, before beginning to walk towards the ice wall, followed by Anna and Silvia.
After just a few minutes of walking, the group spotted an opening in the ice ahead of them and sheets of ice that formed convenient steps leading to it.
"There it is!" stated Elsa with a smile before jogging towards it and Anna and Silvia quickly followed her and Anna takes Elsa's right hand.
"Hey, careful Elsa." warns Anna. "No running off on your own."
"Right, sorry." replied Elsa, interlocking her fingers with Anna as she looked into the doorway to an icy corridor that traveled downward. "This is just... so inviting."
"Well, you're right about that; but stay with us Elsa." stated Anna.
"Yeah... yeah..." commented Elsa, but it was clear she wasn't really listening, before she entered the corridor, pulling Anna along with her.
"H-Hey, Elsa!" stated Anna, before she heard Elsa sing in a near whisper...
"~Show yourself, it's your turn...~"
"Elsa!" declared Anna, before she walked hurried in front of Elsa and quickly slaps her across the face with her free hand. "Come back!"
Elsa stopped and lifted a hand up to her reddened cheek, before looking at Anna curiously, before at the icy walls of the corridor.
"It happened again."
"Yeah..." replied Anna warily. "You even started to sing."
"Well thanks for slapping me out of it." stated Elsa, before Anna looked worried.
"I don't like how you seem to be taken control of."
"It's unsettling for me too, but we need to keep going. Just be ready to slap me again."
Anna gave a concerned groan, before replying...
"We move together, no hurrying ahead."
"Deal." stated Elsa with a smile as she gave a reassuring squeeze of Anna's hand in hers.
The trio then continued on through the corridor and marveled at the smooth ice, but only the walls were smooth, the floor seemed to be regular ice that was easy to walk on.
"Weird how this path seems made to be traveled through." commented Anna.
"Yeah, it is odd." replied Elsa. "I know I'm being called, but this seems too convenient."
"Stay on guard." warned Silvia. "Beauty and intrigue can be an enticing lure."
"That goes without saying." commented Anna, before looking to Elsa. "Still with us?"
"Yeah, no singing." replied Elsa with a smile and another squeeze of her hand.
Moments later, the trio reached the end of the corridor, opening out to a small, dimly lit cave from the reflective light of the corridor.
"Weird..." commented Anna. "A dead end?" she added, before she felt Elsa's hand go limp, which prompted Anna to turn her attention to Elsa and saw a blank look on her face as if zoning out. "Elsa? Again? Already?"
Anna walked in front of Elsa and lifted a hand to slap her again, before a very curious event took place, Elsa began singing...
"~Are you the one I've been looking for...~"
The singing wasn't what surprised her, but a second voice, a second Elsa was heard and Anna and Silvia both gasped when a snow replica of Elsa, minus coat and hair un-braided and uncut, walked through the opening they had just left.
"What the!?" gasped Anna, before she saw her Elsa flinch and turn her attention to the addition and repeated her sister's gasp as they all saw the Snow Elsa walk into the middle of the room, continuing to sing as if they were not even there.
"~Show yourself, I'm ready to learn. AH~AHHH~AH~AHHHH~"
The group saw the Snow Elsa soon turn around as if hearing something and run towards a dark area of the cave.
"What... is going on?" questioned Anna, before she saw Elsa begin to walk towards the dark area, though Anna quickly tightened her hold on Elsa's hand, stopping her. "Hey!"
"I'm good." stated Elsa.
~AH~AHHHH~AH~AHHHHH~
"Is that the voice?" asked Silvia curiously, before she saw both sisters zone out and repeat the call. However, a red glow soon covered Anna's body and she flinched as she was snapped out of it.
"Whoa!" commented Anna, before she and Silvia gasped when colored lights suddenly illuminated where Snow Elsa ran to and revealed a hidden corridor.
~AH~AHHHH~AH~AHHHHH~
Anna then gasped again when Elsa snatched her hand away and sprinted towards the opening.
"Elsa!"
Anna and Silvia chased after Elsa entering the corridor, a few paces behind her, but still in sight as they heard her singing...
"~...But I'm here for a reason...~"
"Elsa!" called Anna.
This corridor however, wasn't as easily traversed as the one before it as smooth ice circled the entire thing, which prompted Anna and Silvia to briefly slip and slide as they saw Elsa pull away with a controlled slide down.
"Ahtohallan! Let go of my sister!" declared Anna, before she steadied her feet and positioned her hands behind her and propelled herself with a burst of fire, quickly closing the gap between herself and Elsa.
However, nearing Elsa, Anna gasped as she saw the end of the corridor and nothing past it, an empty void.
"Elsa!" gasped Anna, before her heart dropped as she heard a gasp from Elsa before she slid right off into the void with a scream. "ELSA!"
Reaching the void, and taking flight, Anna let out an immensely relieved sigh when she saw Elsa on her hands and knees on a circular sheet of ice, before Silvia joined Anna, looking down at Elsa and whistled.
"Good thing you two learned to fly."
Anna quickly flew down to where Elsa seemed to be frozen and saw her eyes wide as dinner plates and breathing rapidly.
"Hey." stated Anna, which prompted a gasp from Elsa as she lifted her head to look at Anna with clear fear in her eyes.
"I-I-I'm b-b-back." stuttered out Elsa.
"I'd hope so after that." replied Anna, before she sighed. "You scared me half to death!"
"You!?" gasped Elsa. "I'm the one that nearly died! What is Ahtohallan doing making me slide down to my death!? I can't do what that replica of me did on such short notice! Thank God I already relieved myself earlier!"
Anna however, did notice a curious, yellow puddle between Elsa's legs, but chose not to add insult to near-death injury by commenting on it.
"The other you did something?" asked Anna.
"Y-Yeah... she jumped and created pillars to step on as she crossed the gap." answered Elsa, before she shakily got to her feet and looked up to the other side of the void where a ledge was that led into another corridor. "It happened so quick that I wasn't prepared."
Silvia then joined the two.
"Everything ok?"
"Yeah." replied Anna. "The fall snapped Elsa out of it."
"Seeing the pit snapped me out of it." stated Elsa. "Let's just get back to solid ground." she added, before moving herself up to the other side of the void and stepped off of her ice to the ledge and lowered herself to her hands and knees with a sigh. "Ohh, solid ground."
Elsa soon felt Anna's hand on her right shoulder and felt the warmth of Anna's magic envelop her.
"What are you-" asked Elsa, as she saw Anna and herself enveloped in a red aura.
"My healing seems to be able to resist the call." replied Anna. "My magic snapped me out of the calls influence before you ran off. I probably would've been joining you."
"Well that's a lucky break." replied Elsa with a smile, before she stood and offered her right hand and Anna lowered her hand to take Elsa's again. "Your healing weakens you though."
"Yep."
~AH~AHHH~AH~AHHHH~
"But right now..." stated Anna. "Until proven otherwise, we're in danger. And you're clearly more easily influenced by Ahtohallan; I'll use what ever I can to protect you." she added with a determined frown, which prompted a smile from Elsa.
"Thanks. I'd likely be dead right now if I managed to send you back and the whole learning to fly never happened."
"Curious..." commented Silvia, prompting Elsa and Anna to look back to Silvia, who lifted a hand to her chin in thought. "You're magic supposedly originates here, yet you can resist its influence over you, Your Highness. Is it because Her Majesty is who it actually wants, so it's not focused on you?"
"That is interesting." commented Anna, before Elsa added...
"This just raises even more questions; Why me?"
"What's 'Sanna' has to say about this?" asked Silvia.
"Ah, right..." replied Elsa, before she lifted her free hand and created a snowflake. 'Got anything to say?' thought Elsa.
However, Elsa neither heard or felt a reply.
"That's strange, I'm not getting a response." commented Elsa.
"Okay..." replied Anna curiously. "Now THAT is worrying! You can still use your magic though." she added, before Elsa smiled when she heard Sanna respond.
'I'm still here!'
"It's talking again." stated Elsa, before Anna sighed.
'Sorry about that.' stated Sanna. 'Ahtohallan is somehow interfering with my ability to talk with you. I'm not sure if it's on purpose though, but Anna's helping. The pull is strong, I can't determine Ahtohallan's intent, but it wants you to come... some kind of, power?'
"Power?" questioned Elsa, before Anna asked...
"What did Sanna say?"
"Ahtohallan's interfering with its communication with me." answered Elsa. "But what you're doing is helping to prevent that, and my magic doesn't know Ahtohallan's intent; just, it wants me to come, for some kind of power."
"Weird." commented Anna, "Maybe my magic can tell me something."
"It's it talking to you now?" asked Elsa.
"Not yet, but I would sure like it to right about now." replied Anna, before she closed her eyes. "Come on, give me something; Is it safe for us to continue on?"
To Anna's surprise, she heard a feminine voice respond...
'I don't know.'
"W-Whoa!" gasped Anna with delight, the voice was so calm and soothing. "It's talking to me!"
"Really!?" gasped Elsa with a smile.
"Y-yeah! O-Ok, give me a second!"
'Sanna is correct.' stated Anna's magic. 'Ahtohallan has a pull, being so close now. Elsa is its target, but you are desired as well. For now, I can protect you and Elsa from it's influence, but I am unsure how long I will be able to. It's intent... is unknown, but I don't sense anything malicious.'
"But that doesn't mean it's benevolent either." commented Anna, with a frown, before she looked to Elsa. "My magic says while you are the target, it wants me too now. It can protect us from its influence, but it doesn't know for how long and it doesn't sense any malevolence." she added, while Elsa hummed and Silvia commented...
"You're right, not malevolent, doesn't automatically mean benevolent."
Elsa then groaned...
"Just tell us what you want Ahtohallan!"
~AH~AHHHH~AH~AHHHHH~
"~Normal rules did not apply!~"
Elsa, Anna and Silvia gasped when they heard Elsa's voice singing behind them and gasped louder when they looked back and Snow Elsa hopped down from a step that wasn't there and a third gasp left Elsa and Anna when the replica walked right through them like an apparition.
"She's back." commented Anna.
"She already passed us though." commented Elsa.
"It's repeating." stated Silvia.
The trio saw the replica continue singing as it ran forward to what was clearly a blocked off opening with large pillars of fallen ice.
"~I finally found out why? Show Yourself!~"
The replica then motioned to move the ice, before walking through what was still blocked for them.
"Guess there's a path behind the ice." commented Elsa, before she heard a chuckle from Anna.
"Yanno, it may not be you, but it is nice to see you doing your thing singing. Oh! Maybe I'll see your Let it Go song!"
Silvia then asked...
"You have a song?"
The comment prompted a groan from Elsa and lifting her left hand over her face, before she smirked and looked at Anna.
"I recall you having your own song."
Anna's delight quickly faded from her face.
"Let's go!" declared Elsa, before she walked towards the blockage, pulling Anna along.
Nearing the blockage, Elsa directed her free hand towards it and with an upward motion lifted the ice to clear the way.
The trio didn't even need to walk pass the opening before their mouths were agape as a large room lay before them. A gasp left them all as they left the corridor to a massive icy room, with equally massive icy column's laying on the ground. Despite their thickness, the columns were like glass with their transparency.
"Whoa..." gasped Elsa and Anna as they marvel at the sight, before Snow Elsa reappeared, moving from behind and through them as she sang confidently and her hand motions clearly told that she was moving the columns...
"~Here I am, I've come so far!~"
"I gotta say, Your Majesty..." stated Silvia with a smile. "If this is what your singing is like, I'm a fan."
Elsa simply groaned before advancing forward and rising the columns up one by one, given their fallen position, the columns rose up to frame the walls of the room. As she and Anna still looked on in wonder.
"This is incredible!" stated Anna. "This isn't a cave, it's an actual room! Like something in your Ice Palace."
"What is this place?" asked Elsa, while she saw, with the closet columns lifted and supposedly back in position, they saw more fallen columns ahead of them, but also the end of the room behind them and what looked like a doorway, with a large triangular recess and Snow Elsa continued on, motioning to raise the final pillars as Elsa followed, revealing an odd rainbow-ish triangular wall, presented in front of them.
"~You are the answer I've been waiting for, all of my life, Oh, Show Yourself!~"
"What is this..." commented Elsa, as the trio stopped in front of the strange wall and Elsa lifted her left hand towards it, before...
"~Show Yourself!~" sang Anna.
Which prompted Elsa to gasp and look to Anna, who giggled and Elsa groaned.
"Ugh, please don't start."
"I'm really liking this song though!" replied Anna, Elsa simply sighed and shook her head and looked back to the strange wall in front of them.
"I'm getting the feeling, behind this wall is where all of our questions will be answered."
"Me too." replied Anna, with a squeeze of her hand in Elsa's. "Just trying to not have things be super tense."
"Heh, thanks for that." stated Elsa, as she returned the hand-squeeze and lifted her left hand up to the wall. "Here... we... go!" stated Elsa, before she propelled a burst of her magic into the wall.
The action prompted wide-eyed gasp from all three as the wall shattered into countless hand-size crystals spanning a black void behind the wall.
"Whoa..." gasped Elsa and Anna, before they crossed the threshold into the void.
However, Silvia saw the aura around the sisters immediately disappear upon crossing the boundary, and raised a curious eye as the sisters began to sing in unison...
"~Come to us now~"
Silvia then saw a group of blue crystals gather to form a leaf above them, before scattering and briefly circling the sisters, then moving ahead of them a few yards and joining to form a large crystal of the same color.
"Interesting..." commented Silvia, walking a few steps ahead of the sisters and seeing delight on their faces, but clearly under Ahtohallan's influence. "Let's see where this is going first before I slap them out of it."
"~Open your door~"
A group of red crystals then appeared and circled Elsa and Anna, before they formed the shape of a lizard.
"The Fire Spirit?" questioned Silvia, before, like the previous crystals, moved ahead to form a large crystal.
"~Don't make us wait~"
Next, another set of blue crystals formed the shape of the Water Spirit, which briefly galloped around them.
"Ok, that's just cruel." stated Silvia, before walking up to Elsa and slapping her; however, the strike did nothing and Elsa simply turned her head back in front of her like nothing happened. "Uh, ok."
"~One moment more~"
Silvia then saw purple colored crystals form a rocky golem sliding past.
"That must be the Earth Spirit." stated Silvia, before the sisters walked passed her and Silvia saw the four crystals hovering in the air in front of them.
"~Come to us now, open your door~"
The sisters then lifted their free hand up together and Silvia saw the crystals move, lifting higher and turned horizontally on their sides and positioning in a cross formation.
"~Don't make us wait, one moment more~"
With a slow lowering of their hands, the crystals followed and lowered to the floor in front of them and formed a white, hollow star shape between the points of the crystals and Silvia's eye's widened.
"This is an ascension!" gasped Silvia, "Against their will!" she added before she immediately directed her natural Succubus powers at the two.
While Elsa and Anna staggered briefly, Silvia failed to prevent them from stepping into the hollow opening, which was then filled with blue and red as a fiery snowflake spread out beneath them to encompass the four crystals.
"I hope you forgive me for this you two." stated Silvia, before her aimed her right hand at them and fired a black mass at them.
However, the fiery snowflake quickly lit up and red and blue crystals swirls around the sisters as Silvia's magic did nothing before beam of bright light enveloped Elsa and Anna, forcing Silvia to shield her eyes, before she heard a disembodied choir began to sing the lullaby.
The light quickly faded though and Silvia uncovered her eyes to the surprise of a massive dome of moving images surround them and the curious sight of Elsa and Anna on their hands and knees, breathing rapidly, before the screens also gain their attention.
"What..." started Elsa, lifting herself to her feet as she helped Anna to hers, who added...
"Is this?"
"These look like moments of our past." stated Elsa.
"Yeah..." replied Anna, "There all of us and Mother and Father..."
The two then heard the call, but it now seemed so close; so close in fact, that they both turned around from reflex and saw multiple images of Iduna as a child, wearing her scarf, with Young Agnarr in her arms, unconscious, performing the call.
"Mother, knew the call?" asked Anna.
"She's... calling to Ahtohallan." commented Elsa. "The voice was mother?"
"But that makes no sense." stated Anna. "Why would Nokk kill her if Mothers the Fifth Spirit?"
However, all questions came to an end when they heard their mother's voice...
"~Come, my darling, homeward bound~"
Elsa and Anna spun around and gasped when they saw a towering image of their mother, Queen Iduna, seemingly looking directly at them.
"Mother!" gasped Elsa and Anna with tears streaming down their faces, as Iduna looked lovingly at them, before Elsa and Anna began to sing once again as their clothing began to glow, Anna's glass coat and boats in particular.
However, the two only got as fair as 'Show Your', before they see Silvia walk up in front of them and viciously slap them both to the ground and the glow fades from their clothing.
"OWWWW!" gasped Elsa and Anna, and Anna looked up to Silvia angrily.
"What was that for!?"
"I said I'd slap you both if you were under Ahtohallan's influence." stated Silvia.
"We were fine!" declared Elsa.
"Oh, really?" asked Silvia curiously, while the large image of Iduna continued looking at them, not singing, but her voice was still heard singing...
"~Grow yourself, into something new~"
"What's going on?" asked Anna, getting to her feet, as well as Elsa.
"Is that not Mother?"
"I assume not." replied Silvia, briefly looking back to the image. "Given all the other images; This is a memory."
"But Mothers never sang that song." commented Elsa, before the large Iduna looked directly at Elsa and her voice sang another lyric...
"~You are the one I've been waiting for.~"
"Why... does that sound wrong?" questioned Elsa curiously, before Silvia walked in front of them, revealed and stretched out her wings, blocking some of their view.
"Focus! I don't think Ahtohallan is done messing with you. Ignore what's going on. First, how are you two feeling?"
"Well..." started Anna, before lifting a hand to her reddened cheek. "Besides my face still stinging, I feel fine."
"Same." added Elsa.
"Really? You two don't feel strange at all?" asked Silvia. "Any weird tingles? You two preformed an ascension and your clothes started glowing."
"Ascension?" questioned Elsa and Anna together, before they briefly looked over their clothing and Anna added, "That must've been what that light was and that surge of energy."
"Yeah..." stated Elsa, "It was kinda overwhelming and left me breathless."
"Same here." added Anna. "But now, I feel just fine, like I just had the most restful sleep ever!"
"Me too." stated Elsa, "I feel full of energy! Whatever that Ascension did, I feel just fine; better than ever actually."
"Me too." added Anna, which prompted Silvia narrow her eyes at them with a hum.
A small gasp left Elsa and Anna when she they felt a small surge of arousal come over them and they lowered their hands down to their crotch.
"H-Hey! Knock it off!" declared Elsa.
"Sorry, just testing." replied Silvia as the sisters sighed upon feeling the arousal fade. "You can still be effected by my magic."
"Why wouldn't we be?" asked Anna.
"One more test." stated Silvia, as she reached out her left hand to Anna. "Give me your hand, Your Highness."
Anna looked wary, before offering her right hand to Silva, who added her other hand and pulled up the sleeve of Anna's coat, before the Succubus' tail emerged from behind her and its heart-shaped tip shifted into a small blade and quickly swiped across Anna's forearm, immediately prompting a gasp of pain from her and snatch her hand away.
"Hey!" gasped Elsa angrily as she grabbed Silvia's tail.
"You can still bleed." stated Silvia, as she saw the cut along Anna's arm.
"Of course I can bleed!" stated Anna. "What are you testing!?"
"Ascensions can bring a variety of changes to the individual." stated Silvia. "Usually some form of invulnerability or even immortality. So far, you two haven't seemed to changed, so you possibly received an increase in power."
"You could've just led with that, geez!" declared Anna, before she healed the cut, near instantly. "Hmm, even though it was just a small cut, that healed a lot quicker than usual."
"So..." started Elsa warily. "We may have been changed, without our permission?"
"Exactly." replied Silvia. "You two seem to still be mortal, but I'd rather not test that." she added, before Elsa sighed with a frown.
"Why lead us here, just for an unwanted increase in power?" asked Elsa, before she looked up to the various memories. "Ahtohallan, I want answers, now!" she declared, before lifting her left hand, and a massive cloud of vision-obscuring snow surrounded them as the images turned to snow as well.
"Oh, wow..." commented Elsa, as Anna and Silvia were close enough to still see in the blizzard of snow. "Didn't expect that to happen."
"Well we are in a glacier." commented Anna.
"Ahh, right." replied Elsa, before with a wave of her hand, dispersed the snow out around them.
However, with the snows dispersal, revealed not only the black void was gone, replaced with a winter-like whiteness all around, but a massive crowd of snow replica's of themselves in various stages of their life all reenacting things they recalled.
"What in the..." gasped Elsa.
"These... are memories..." stated Anna, turning around as she gazed upon the numerous versions of themselves.
"River of memory, indeed." commented Silvia. "It just goes on forever, but the memories in the distance don't seem to be moving."
"Woooow." gasped Anna delightfully, before she walked through the various memories, along with Elsa and Silvia.
It was like walking through a crowd, memories became active as they neared them and slowed to a stop as the passed. They couldn't go a yard without a memory nearly running into them, one in particular had a young Anna very improperly standing on a moving bike, which prompted a curious look on Elsa's face as she looked to Anna.
"Did you seriously do that?"
"Heh, boredom made me do strange things." replied Anna with an embarrassed chuckle, before the two saw a familiar memory they both shared.
They were children, Elsa kneeling behind a familiar snowman, pretended she was it and announcing, "Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!" followed by young Anna happily running towards the snowman and hugging it, declaring, "I love you Olaf!"
"Awww!" declared Silvia. "Aren't you two cute!"
The comment prompted only an embarrassed chuckle from the sisters, before a more recent memory came moving by them of Anna holding onto Elsa unsteadily as she learned to ice skate, which prompted a chuckle from Anna.
"That's shortly after the Eternal Winter a couple of months ago."
"You got used to it quick." stated Elsa with a smile.
"You should freeze the courtyard more often." suggested Anna. "The people loved it; oh, we could make it a special ice skating day! Once, no, two times a month! Maybe three?"
"Heh, I'll consider it." replied Elsa, before Anna gasped with delight and pointed to their left.
"Oh hey! There's the one on your coronation day with the Duke of Weselton."
The two saw the amusing memory of the Duke inviting Elsa to dance and his Tupi failing to remain secure and both pairs of sisters giggled, Elsa a little more after seeing the memory of herself redirect the Duke's request to Anna, who was pulled away.
"Yeah..." stated Elsa with a smile. "I wouldn't mind seeing that energetic dance again."
"I'm sure you wouldn't." commented Anna with a smirk, before she gasped with delight when she saw a small reindeer pulling a little boy on a sleigh. "Oh! Is that little Kristoff and Sven!?"
"Certainly looks like it." replied Elsa with a smile. "But now that you point it out, it's not just us that are here. I see some familiar faces of people in town."
"You're right." added Anna. "Oaken's here too and the Kristoff we know. But why? Especially Kristoff as a kid, we never met him then." stated Anna, before Silvia spoke up...
"I may have an answer to that; you two are connected to these people."
"So, we can see the actions of other people?" asked Elsa. "Because we know them?"
"Seems so." replied Silvia.
The trio then came upon a group of who Elsa and Anna recognized to be three handmaids, one being Elly, grouped together giggling as the sisters faces turned beet red from the familiar distant moans of Elsa that were heard.
"They're finally doing it!" declared one Handmaid, before Elly commented...
"And sounds like Anna knows just what to do!"
"Yeah, the Queen is pretty vocal."
Elsa then covered her face in her hands.
"Oh my GOD!"
"Ohhh." replied Silvia with a smirk. "Her Majesty's the noisy one? Nice going Your Highness!" she added and patting Anna on the shoulder, who gave a nervous chuckle, before Elsa directed her left hand towards the gossiping handmaids and shattered them all, ending the memory.
"That's enough of that!"
"I wonder what else we'll see!" commented Silvia with delight, which prompted a groan from Elsa, before Anna gasped with delight of her own.
"Oh! Maybe I'll see your song Elsa!" declared Anna, before she hurried ahead.
"Whoa! Whoa! Hold on!" quickly replied Elsa, running after Anna.
However, just seconds into hurrying through the crowd of memories, they encountered one with Anna riding in a sleigh with Kristoff, who commented in exasperation...
"Hang on! You mean to tell me you got engaged to someone you just met that day!?"
"Yes; pay attention!" replied memory Anna, while Silvia's face lit up.
"Ohhhh my! You're a fast one Your Highness!"
Anna simply chuckled nervously.
"W-We can skip this one. Elsa do your thing."
"Oh nooo." replied Elsa with a smirk, "I wanna watch this!" she added as they saw Memory Anna move away a little when Kristoff asked her if her parents ever warned her about strangers and claiming Hans was not a stranger.
"He was." stated Elsa, looking to Silvia, who smirked, before Kristoff asked...
"Oh yeah? What's he's last name?"
Memory Anna gave a huff and responded...
"'Of the Southern Isles!"
"Wow!" gasped Silvia before snorting back a laugh.
"Really Anna?" asked Elsa with a smirk, as Anna frowned and launched a ball of fire at the memory and blowing it up.
"Ok! Ok! I was a little naive! I was desperate for attention, ok?"
"How long ago was this?" asked Silvia.
"That's not important!" declared Anna. "What's important is I'm not that person anymore."
Elsa and Silvia both shared a chuckle, before an aimless look around from Anna prompted a delighted gasp from her and walking to Elsa and Silvia's right to a memory of herself and Anna standing in front of each other with Elsa's hands clasped together holding a small figure in her hands while a winged humanoid hovered in front of her.
"It's the moment I healed Juleka a little over a week ago!" declared Anna.
With Elsa and Silvia following the short distance, Silvia looked at the memory with curiosity and with a frown.
"They're fairies. You two know fairies?"
"Yeah." replied Anna. "But don't worry, Juleka's a nice fairy! Izzy warned me about fairies, but I still went looking."
"And ending up setting the forest on fire." commented Elsa.
"Really? How?" asked Silvia, before Anna chuckled nervously.
"Well, the other fairy here, hovering next to Juleka's head, Vivian; I discovered her hiding in the trees thanks to my magic. She told me to go away, but me being the friendly person that I am and excited to meet a real fairy, was stubborn in trying to befriend her."
"Ahh..." replied Silvia with a smirk.
"Hehe, yeah... so Vivian was trying to shoo me away because her girlfriend Juleka was deathly ill and didn't want me stumbling into their village." continued Anna. "I was stubborn though and Vivian poisoned me into hallucinating my worse nightmare. Elsa comes, I nearly kill her; but she snaps me out of it; Vivian then apologizes and asks me to heal Juleka and that's what this memory is. Juleka's the leader of her own village!"
"Wow... so they're indebted to you." replied Silvia.
"No! We're friends!" declared Anna. "At least Juleka is. I don't necessarily hate Vivian; her behavior was understandable, but I'd rather not see her for now. We still haven't visited Juleka's village though."
"And you, Your Majesty?" asked Silvia.
"I consider Juleka a friend as well." replied Elsa, before a small sigh left Silvia, who smiled.
"Just be careful. You two-"
Silvia was then interrupted when all three were surprised when they heard Silvia's voice behind them, speaking angrily at someone...
"How can you allow this activity in our kingdom!?"
"Oh no..." commented Silvia, as her smile quickly left her face, before Elsa and Silvia looked behind them while Anna to her right as they saw a snow memory of Silvia speaking to a man without a face.
"They're just Humans." answered the man dismissively.
"They're children!" declared Silvia. "They don't deserve to be slaves and abused!" she added, as the man turned and walked away and Memory Silvia followed.
"Does your heart bleed for every abused human child in the world, my dear? This is hardly new."
"That doesn't mean it has to happen here! Human's actually live here Father! What message is it sending to have their own kind openly sold off on the streets!? Their King won't protect them!? You're no better than the slavers!"
The man turned around and Elsa and Anna didn't need to see his face to feel the intimidating aura of a disapproving parent looking at their child.
"Mind your tongue, child!"
However, before the scene could continue; Memory Silvia's reply only getting as far as "You benefit fr-", Silvia quickly aimed her right hand towards it and fired her own magic at it and blew up the replicas.
"That's enough of that." stated Silvia, while Elsa and Anna look at Silvia with surprise and Anna asks...
"You're a princess!?"
"No, I'm not!" sternly answered Silvia with a frown. "I would greatly appreciate you not calling me that."
"What happened after?" asked Elsa.
"I don't want to talk about it." replied Silvia.
"Ok, ok." replied Elsa, before Anna commented...
"Wow... but it's strange that you would be included in all of this, we just met you."
"Maybe you consider me a friend." teased Silvia with a smirk.
"I wouldn't be against it." stated Elsa with a smile as well.
"Me neither!" added Anna.
"O-Oh, really?" asked Silvia, clearly caught off-guard from the reply.
"Yeah." replied Elsa. "You're not exactly someone I would seek out to be friends with, but with all you've done, you've proven yourself worthy of my friendship."
"Same here." added Anna. "You've helped us a lot and even shown us compassion when we found our parents ship."
Silvia simply chuckled as her cheeks reddened and Anna grinned.
"Are you blushing!?"
Silvia said nothing, but turned her face from them, which prompted Elsa to giggle and tease...
"Who'da thought that friendship makes a Succubus blush?"
"I'm not immune to emotion!" declared Silvia. "You just caught me off-guard saying we're friends given the situation!"
Elsa and Anna both giggle, before Elsa's singing voice rang out...
"~Here I stand~"
"No-no-no!" gasped Elsa, while Anna's face lit up and turned around to see Elsa in her usual blue dress, though white as snow, like everything else as she walked with a sway of her hips and her arms outstretched confidently.
"~In the light of day!~"
"This is it!" declared Anna giddily as she rushed over to the replica.
"~Let the storm rage oooooon, the cold never bothered me anyway!~"
Following the replica finishing with a half turn back with a swing of its cape and slowly walking back to a slow stop, Anna turned her head to Elsa with the biggest grin ever and saw Elsa with a hand over her face.
"Why so embarrassed?" asked Anna.
"I'm fine with you seeing that, but not another person!" replied Elsa. "It's so embarrassing!"
"You were really strut'n your stuff there Elsa." replied Anna as she quickly mimicked the walk she had seen. "Really swing'n those hips!"
Elsa simply groaned, before she glanced to Silvia to her right, who grinned at her and opened her mouth but Elsa quickly stated...
"Don't you even!"
"Maybe I can find one with the Let It Go part!" declared Anna, before running off.
"Hey, don't go too far!" called Elsa as she ran after Anna.
Just seconds into hurrying through memories, they nearly run passed a memory of Anna and Hans sitting on the railing of a balcony looking at each other before Memory Anna spoke...
"Ok, can I just say something crazy?"
"Oh no!" gasped Anna as she quickly spun around and saw Elsa grin.
"Is this what I think it is?" ask Elsa as she neared Anna.
"No it's not!" declared Anna, before she lifted her right hand towards the memory, but Elsa quickly grabbed her hand and lowered it.
"We're watching this one!"
Anna simply groaned and she closed her eyes as Elsa grinned and looked on...
"~All my life has been a series of doors in my face~"
However, the lyric immediately wiped the smile off Elsa's face as she saw Anna shut the balcony window for emphasis.
"Oh..." replied Elsa, as Anna opened her eyes and looked at Elsa sadly.
"~Then suddenly I bump into you.~" sang Memory Anna as she looked to Hans with a smile, who sang back to Anna, but with his lyric of...
"~And maybe it the party talking, or the Chocolate fondue~"
And caressing Anna's cheek, following by her giggle, the Hans replica shattered.
"You're right." stated Elsa with a frown. "I don't like that song either." she added and walked away.
"Heh, right." replied Anna with an uncomfortable chuckle and walking with Elsa.
"This place really is something though." stated Elsa. "Our whole life is probably playing out here."
"Yeah..." replied Anna. "It's incredible, but also kinda creepy."
Just seconds later, Elsa and Anna both gasped when they spotted their adult parents a few yards away, hugging.
"Mother and Father are here too!" declared Anna, before she and Elsa happily rush to the memory.
"Iduna, what's wrong?" asked Agnarr.
"I can't keep doing this anymore." stated Iduna, clearly getting emotional. "I thought it would just go away if I ignored it. They both turn out to have magic; I used the excuse of fire being dangerous to get rid of Anna's magic, then Elsa's accident happened and I panicked! I-I-"
"Hey, hey..." stated Agnarr softly as he lifted his right hand to caress Iduna's cheek. "What ever it is, I love you; that won't change."
"I hope that's true." replied Iduna with a sigh. "I need to tell you about my past; Where I'm from."
"I'm listening."
"I'm... not from Arendelle." stated Iduna. "I'm... Northuldra."
Elsa and Anna shared their fathers shock, however, the sisters smiled and Anna commented...
"Mother actually told Father!"
However, Agnarr didn't share the delight and pulled back from Iduna.
"Northuldra? The same people who killed my father?"
"I had nothing to do with that, I swear!" declared Iduna, reaching out to Agnarr, who pulled back from her, and Iduna looked crushed, however, the memory stopped there.
"No, no, no!" gasped Elsa. "What happened next!?"
"This is clearly before the accident." stated Anna. "So obviously Father forgives her before then."
"Well yeah, but for the memory to stop there is so mean!" replied Elsa. "I wanna see how they come back together."
"Well there's plenty of memories here to look through." stated Anna.
"That would take forever." stated Elsa, as she began walking through the crowd of memories.
However, they did encounter another memory of their parents, though not the memory Elsa was looking for; It was a rather wholesome memory of their parents as teens. Agnarr sitting under a tree reading a book, before Iduna surprises him as she swings upside-down from a branch of the tree. Iduna delightfully started up a conversation with Agnarr about the book he was reading.
"Looks like Magna was right about Mother and trees." commented Anna with a smile at the playful moment.
"Yeah..." replied Elsa with a smile as well. "She's wearing a dress and her hair is tied up. This must be after she came to Arendelle. One of the citizens must've taken her in."
"And she kept the fact that she was Northuldra a secret." stated Anna. "She was probably terrified of the truth being found out."
"Yeah..."
However, the sisters soon heard an unfamiliar mans voice, but what he said alerted them...
"King Runeard, I'm sorry, I don't understand."
Turning around to the voice, Elsa and Anna saw the familiar sight of their Grandfather, walking with another Arendelle guard.
"It's Grandfather!" declared Anna happily. "We can see what Grandfather was like!" she added as she hurried to the memory just a few yards away, with Elsa following, however, their grandfather's reply caused their smiles to fade.
"We bring Arendelle's full guard."
"But they have given us no reason not to trust them." replied the guard.
"W-What?" asked Elsa, as Anna's eyes widen from shock as King Runeard looked to the guard sternly.
"The Northuldra follow magic, which means we can never trust them."
"Wait, what!?" gasped Anna.
"This can't be true!" added Elsa.
"Magic makes people feel too powerful." stated the Memory Runeard. "Too entitled; It makes them think they can defy the will of a king!"
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" stated Anna. "WHAT!? Magic doesn't do that!"
"Weeeeell..." started Silvia. "He's not exactly wrong. Give the wrong people magic and they can certainly go on a power-trip."
"That's not the Northuldra though!" declared Elsa.
"Does this mean..." stated Anna, lowering her gaze. "Arendelle is responsible for the fighting after-all?"
"I..." started Elsa, sadly, before they saw their grandfather walk past them and through a wall they hadn't noticed and given the wall was transparent, saw her grandfather and the guard continuing. "We have to know more." added Elsa, before she gave a wave of her hand and dispersed the wall, revealing another corridor.
However, before the trio could follow the memory, a snow replica of Queen Iduna walked in front of them just a couple of yards and looked directly at them.
"You've arrived sooner than expected." spoke the replica.
Elsa and Anna both look puzzled and Anna spoke to Elsa, though still stared at the replica...
"Uh, is this memory actually speaking to us?"
"Wait..." stated Elsa, as her eyes went wide and a smile came to her face as she steps towards the figure. "Mother? Is that you!?"
"No, I'm not." answered the replica, which prompted Elsa's delight to fade from her face for the second time upon mistakenly identifying her mother. "I have simply taken one of the many replica's here to speak with you directly. I can assume another form if you wish."
The replica used Iduna's voice, yet it spoke with an eerie detached calmness that the sisters never remembered Iduna using.
"Wait..." stated Silvia, wide-eyed. "You're Ahtohallan."
"Correct. I am Ahtohallan." answered the replica, which prompted wide-eyed stares from Elsa and Anna, who took a step towards the replica.
"YOU'RE Ahtohallan?" asked Anna.
"Yes."
To be continued...
